The Afenifere sociocultural organization on Thursday accused President Bola Tinubu’s presidency of failing Nigerians.
Afenifere accused Tinubu of being superficial and refusing to restructure Nigeria’s economy.
Featuring on Arise Television’s Morning Show, Afenifere’s Publicity Secretary, Justice Faloye, faulted how Tinubu removed fuel subsidy.
According to Faloye: “When he said subsidies were dead, we said there is nowhere in the world that you won’t have this kind of situation, it’s not protesters that are endangering the polity, but it’s the government’s policies. Anywhere in the world, you can’t remove subsidies like that.
“We do believe that the presidency is failing the people, he (Tinubu) is being superficial, he should restructure the economy. What we have is a colonial economy because the majority are just trading.”
Commenting on the saga between the federal government and Dangote’s refinery, Faloye said the government should be more nationalistic in its approach.
“On the issue of Dangote, the government needs to be more nationalistic, we have wished for such a refinery for so long; so, it’s so depressing that the NNDPRA comes out to denigrate our products.
“What we need is for the government to support this business, government should back people when they invest and not throw hurdles in the way,” he added.
